FAQs

What Is Qsymia?

Qsymia® is a prescription medication that is designed to help with weight loss. It combines two drugs, phentermine and topiramate, to help reduce your appetite and feel full longer.

The FDA has approved Qsymia as a treatment for individuals who need help managing their weight, especially those with weight-related health issues. Because phentermine is similar to an amphetamine, it can be habit-forming and may interrupt your sleeping patterns. Qsymia is prescribed as part of a weight loss plan that includes healthy eating and regular exercise.

How Does Qsymia Work For Weight Loss?

Qsymia can help you lose weight because it combines two medications, phentermine and topiramate, which work together to make it easier for you to eat less.

  • Phentermine works by stimulating the central nervous system and blocking hunger signals sent by the brain to help you curb feelings of hunger and reduce cravings. It makes you feel less hungry, which can make it easier to eat fewer calories.
  • Topiramate is a medication that was originally used to treat seizures and migraines, but it also affects the part of your brain that makes you feel “rewarded” when you eat food. Topiramate can make food seem less appealing, decreasing your appetite and curbing cravings so you do not want to eat as much.

Together, these two ingredients can help you develop healthier eating habits by controlling your appetite and encouraging smaller portions. When used in tandem with a low-calorie healthy diet and physical activity, it can help you achieve gradual and sustainable weight loss.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Qsymia?

Qsymia weight loss pills may be a good option for you if you need help managing your weight and have not had success with diet and exercise alone.

  • It is usually recommended for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have weight-related health issues, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol;
  • Qsymia may be helpful for individuals who struggle with constant hunger or cravings that make it hard to maintain a healthy diet;
  • People who are committed to making lifestyle changes, including healthier eating habits and regular physical activity;
  • It is not recommended for women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as it may cause harm to an unborn baby;
  • Qsymia weight loss pills are not a good option if you have a history of certain medical conditions, such as glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, or severe depression.
Is Qsymia Safe For Long-Term Use?

Qsymia is approved for long-term use in people who need help managing their weight. However, regular check-ins with your doctor are important to make sure it remains safe and effective for you.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

Everyone responds differently to weight loss, but many people start noticing weight loss within the first few weeks of using Qsymia. The best results are achieved when the medication is combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How Much Weight Can I Lose On Qsymia?

Most adults lose about 5% of their starting weight in about one year.

What Is The Best Way To Store Qsymia?

Qsymia should be kept at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F and kept out of extreme temperatures, sunlight, and moisture.
